To the editor: As a longtime subscriber and every day reader of the L.A. Instances, and as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for greater than 50 years, I have to defend the church and gospel I really like towards the views expressed by Tara Rowland within the article on Arizona’s Mormon vote.
The reality is that former President Trump will not be in “line with our values” in any respect. His selfishness, his meanness, his caustic feedback on authorized migrants and on anybody who disagrees with him, his punitive and costly insurance policies (equivalent to his tariffs, which price us billions) and his fixed lies are actually not reflections of our values.
Moreover, the E book of Mormon information that the start of the downfall of the Nephite authorities was an election-denying and mendacity man who fomented revolt.
I’m voting for the “values” of serving to others, fiscal knowledge, a robust protection and mutual respect for neighbors. That’s actually not Trump.
Oh, and by the way in which, displaying a “Cucks for Harris” signal as Rowland has is completely incorrect for any true disciple of Christ (which is what the LDS Church teaches us to be).

To the editor: The Mormon girl citing her case for Trump misplaced my regard from the beginning by each her crude yard signal and her assertion that there have been a number of individuals in her congregation who “had been filled with it.”
Whereas placing up a pro-Trump signal and voting for him is actually her proper, this sort of nastiness to others doesn’t exhibit the Christian values that she claims to uphold.
She does cite a pair insurance policies that may moderately clarify her decisions, however contemplating that Trump has waffled repeatedly in accordance with prevailing winds on abortion and different points she cares about, it appears nonsensical that she locations her belief in somebody she describes, in her personal phrases, as a clownish buffoon.
